OpenGL version

[hammel]

Im running FC5 with the latest ATI driver installed. When i start the Glest 2, there is an error message:

Exception: Your system supports OpenGL version "1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.2)"
Glest needs at least version 1.3 to work
You may solve this problem by installing your latest video card drivers

Here is my glxinfo output:

Are i really running OpenGL version 1.2? Or what can be the problem?

thx for any feedback....

[Speedator]

Your OpenGL is too new...

[hammel]

great ;o(

[martiño]

I don't know what the problem is but it is not that your opengl is too new for sure

[hammel]

hm...!?

[DAJAMES]

hello

http://www.glest.org/board2/viewtopic.php?t=1308

i have the same error

I'm using a ATI card too (on old Radeon 7500)

I'm not using ati propriatary driver, I using Xorg free driver for Radeon

Im using .deb to install glest

I'm using gnome on a Deian etch..

thank you for some help  (and sory for my poor english)

I had the same issue although I installed a version of Mesa bringing OpenGL 1.4
Check out in /usr/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib. you should have 2 symb links libGL.so and libGL.so.1 taht are linked to a libGL.so.1.2
Assuming you have at least an OpenGL 1.3 installed (or 1.4 like in my case), remove the symb links and replace them to point to the libGL.so.1.4:

Code: [Select]

# cd /usr/lib
#  rm libGL.so libGL.so.1
# ln -s /usr/X11R6/liblibGL.so.1.4 libGL.so
# ln -s /usr/X11R6/liblibGL.so.1.4 libGL.so.1

It was sufficient for me.
Now, I have a pb of performance...

Isn't mesa a software implementation?, if that's the case don't expect the game to run very fast...

[El BeHo]

Indeed Mesa is a software implementation of OpenGL.
But my problem was: my driver was badly installed and the 3D was processed by the CPU instead of the GPU (ATI X700 on a laptop Asus V6X)
